The Internet Company

Three Stars and Difrawi, continuing their tradition of lame generic company names, now operate as, among other things, "The Internet Company" (internet-company.com).

MyWot thread:

And Action 9 report exposing it:
http://www.wftv.com/video/22318192/index.html

Melanie Ashraf who can be seen in that report talking about the non-existent jobs she applied for, has since been the target of a small online defamation campaign on complaintsboard.com and ripoffreport.com. Most likely another example of Difrawi attempting to silence critics of his shady operations.

Melanie however doesn't seem to be the kind to take this lightly, and is determined to go after whomever is behind it. I wish you the best of luck. Either way you can always comfort yourself with the fact that Difrawi's search engine results will always be far worse than what he's thrown at you, and most of what's written about him is not lies but verifiable fact.

  1. I really appreciate the info listed on this blog and to the other sites. I too have been contacted from these guys numerous times about opportunities that don't apply to my field of experience. It's frustating wading through the scams and spam you receive from these guys and even more frustating I actually thought Career-Network was a legite site like Career Builder or Monster.

    I hope somebody does take these guys down. It's frustrating enough to find a job now days and it makes it worse having to watch out for these scams. Keep up the work and I hope you continue to post information you find on these guys.

    Thanks!

  2. They've also set up a facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/#!/TheCareerNetwork?ref=sgm

    for their Career Network scam. I'm not sure if the other scam companies have fan pages set up on facebook - haven't checked - but I wouldn't be surprised if they did.
